Kagome stood by Rin as she rang the doorbell, Sesshomaru's father came to the door.
"Hey Rin, and Kagome?" Inutashio asked,
"Hey, how are you?" Kagome smiling sadly,
"I should be asking you that, but you…you're a ghost?" Inutashio assumed,
"Just out of body experience apparently," Kagome explained as they walked in,
"She is the one that has been haunting us," Rin explained.
"You should call Sesshomaru and tell him that I found Rin, she is a little upset right now and she's upset at Sesshomaru, I would like to talk to you, but first is Inuyasha home?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, right this way please," Inutashio leading Kagome and Rin to Inuyasha, Inuyasha was playing video games,
"Enter," Inuyasha pausing his game, his father came into his room with Kagome and Rin.
"Hey Rin, what's wrong…Kagome…" Inuyasha shocked,
"Hi Inuyasha, can you do me a favor?" Kagome softly asked,
"Um, sure," Inuyasha confused,
"If you are wondering, I am the ghost that has been haunting Sesshomaru, but can you look after Rin for a few minutes while I talk to your father?" Kagome asked.
"Wait…you died?" Inuyasha looking hurt,
"Why would you care if I did Inuyasha, just take care of her for a few minutes would you," Kagome holding Rin's hand,
"Yeah of course and for the record I would care if you died," Inuyasha giving her a hurt look. Kagome bent down,
"I'll be back in a few minutes sweetie, you'll be okay with him," Kagome kissing her forehead. Rin held the teddy bear close, Kagome left and shut the door behind her. Rin stood where she was,
"Whatcha got there?" Inuyasha sitting on the floor.
"Kagome gave me her daughter's teddy bear, I hold it when I am scared," Rin explained,
"I didn't know she had a daughter," Inuyasha thought out loud,
"She called her a half breed, she adopted her from an orphanage," Rin explained.
"Come here Rin, what did Sesshomaru do now?" Inuyasha sighed, Rin slowly made her way over to Inuyasha,
"He spends all his time at work doesn't he?" Rin asked sadly.
"Yeah, but he has you now, I know he can be cold sometimes and distant but Rin, he doesn't really know how to love, his mother left him at an early age, all he had was his father and back in those days our father was all about training him, he has never felt love I don't think," Inuyasha explained.
"I am scared that he will not want me or change his mind about having me around, I don't want him to work all the time, I want him to do the things a daddy is supposed to, Kagome said that he was one of those kind of people who are always lost in their work," Rin sitting down by Inuyasha.
"That's all he has ever known, he's never wanted a family, so he doesn't know how this daddy stuff works, you should tell him how you feel about it, tell him what you just told me, that you don't want him to work all the time, you can help him love Rin, I think he is finally changing now, he used to hate humans but when he saw you it was his first instinct to get you out of the streets and give you the things you needed, but you have to help him, you have to show him love and maybe he will see it, he is a smart demon, he has never had pups before and he isn't all that great at asking for help but don't be afraid to talk to him because it was he who brought you into his life and he keeps those who is in his pack safe, he protects them at all cost, now do you want to play some video games with me?" Inuyasha asked.
"Inuyasha, why did you hurt Kagome?" Rin asked quietly, Inuyasha stared at the little girl,
"Must have been some night for ya…I was going to marry her Rin, the night before my wedding day I was drunk, not in my right mind and things got way out of control, I didn't mean to hurt her, so, what's Kagome's daughter like?" Inuyasha wanting to know.
"Don't you know about the accident she had? She lost her parents and her little girl," Rin shrugged.
"No, no one told me about the accident," Inuyasha confused, Sesshomaru busted in, he was pissed at finding out that his half brother had hurt Kagome, but he couldn't understand it himself, Kagome was right behind him.
"You bastard," Sesshomaru placing Rin behind him, Kagome stared in disbelief not knowing what was going on,
"Take Rin downstairs," Sesshomaru seriously.
"Sesshomaru, what's going on?" Kagome confused, he turned to her with blood red eyes,
"Do as I say woman," Sesshomaru growled out, Kagome stared him down,
"Come on sweetie, things are going to get ugly around here," Kagome walking away. She quickly got Rin down to the living room,
"Um, Mr. Inutashio, I think Sesshomaru is about to kill Inuyasha," Kagome explained,
"Why would you say that?" Inutashio confused,
"His eyes are bleeding red, I think he's transforming into his true self," Kagome seriously, Inutashio was out of the room and in Inuyasha's in a blink of an eye.
"Sesshomaru, calm yourself!" Inutashio roared,
"This half breed has dishonored your family name father," Sesshomaru still in his human form, but Inuyasha was bleeding from the nose and mouth and was sporting a puffy eye.
"I already know what happened between him and Kagome, it was a mistake Inuyasha was intoxicated, things got out of control," Inutashio explained.
"He is going to be punished for this act," Sesshomaru charging at his half breed half brother. Their father moved and his fist connected with Sesshomaru's face, as hard as Sesshomaru had charged at Inuyasha and instead getting running into his father's strong fist to the face he flew back all the way across the room and out into the hall and through the solid wall, leaving a large hole in his path. Inuyasha's mother came running into the living room,
"What's going on up there?" she asked Kagome,
"I'll go check, stay with Rin," Kagome disappearing. Inuyasha's mother gasped,
"It's okay, Kagome's a ghost, she wont hurt anyone," Rin looking at the staircase. Kagome appeared next to an angry Sesshomaru who was unconscious and bleeding from the nose and mouth.
"What the hell is wrong with you people!" Kagome shouted bending over Sesshomaru's unconscious body.
"He started it Kags," Inuyasha pointing to the unconscious body in the floor,
"And that gives you and your father the right to knock him unconscious?" Kagome screamed.
"But Kags," Inuyasha started,
"Don't you dare talk to me like we are friends Inubaka, you may have been the love of my life once but its over now and has been for a while," Kagome shouted.
"Sesshomaru came in here to defend you Kagome, he was going to kill Inuyasha, I think, no, there is proof he cares a lot about you, why else would he try to kill his own brother?" Inutashio smiling,
"That thing is not relations to me, not after what he did," Sesshomaru holding onto the doorway in his humanoid form. Kagome glanced at Sesshomaru, their eyes connected and locked onto each other's gaze, only for a minute then Sesshomaru went down to the living room. Kagome turned and started walking downstairs after him,
"Kagome, I truly am sorry," Inuyasha softly,
"It happened a long time ago," Kagome glancing back at him as she left, she went back to Sango's place.
Back at Sango's Place
"Thanks Sango, for helping us find Rin," Kagome thanking her, Sango just about jumped out of her skin,
"I'll never get used to that, but you're welcome Kagome, why aren't you with them right now?" Sango confused.
"They needed time together without me, I am not going to be in their lives forever," Kagome shrugged,
"You think of that little girl as yours don't you?" Sango knowing she did,
"Yeah Sango, I do, she looks just like Amaya when she had her disguise turned on, it doesn't matter though, all that matters is that Rin has at least one living person she can count on in her life, Sesshomaru has already chosen to be that person, even if I do manage to live through this, a full blooded demon and a human miko can't be together, you of all people should know that by now," Kagome rambling.
"Kagome, I said nothing about you guys getting together…wait, you like him don't you?" Sango surprised, Kagome laughed,
"No, no, I don't… it's just I was watching them today on the playground and I think, honestly, if he would loosen up a little more and stop being a workaholic I think he would be a great dad," Kagome explained.
"And watching them made you wish you had something like that or maybe you could possibly see yourself with the both of them as a…oh I don't know, maybe a family?" Sango smirked. Kagome moved away from Sango,
"No, Inuyasha screwed my chance of having a family ever," Kagome looking at Miroku and their baby asleep on the couch.
"Fuck Inuyasha, Kagome it was a long time ago, you started over by adopting that kid, when you wake up you can start fresh," Sango explained.
"Sango, I started fresh with her, and she got took away from me, I can't afford to start fresh again, I wont put myself through that kind of pain again, I don't think I was meant to have a family of my own, the first time Inuyasha stabbed me in the back and I threw myself into my work and when I found my sweet little girl this happens, I don't know how I am going to react to that if I do wake up," Kagome's voice shaking,
"Kagome, you have us still, we can help you, the doctors say you healed up very well, you're not paralyzed or anything, you can stay with us till you get back on your feet, you still have your parent's money, you can buy the place that's right next door to us, we'll be neighbors, and girl, for Christ's sake at least try to get some guy so you can experience sex, you're a 26 year old virgin!" Sango laughing a little.
"Kami Sango, you are as bad as your husband, I don't want to experience sex, I want to experience a nice guy, taking me to dinner, having a relationship with me, moving slowly, and experience making love with him, and having a child with him, him being beside me throughout life, you have Miroku to grow old with, I have no one, I love you guys, you both have been apart of my family ever since I've met you guys, I knew you two would get together one day, just…I envy you for what you have with him, you are so lucky Sango," Kagome sighed exhaustedly.
"We will always be here for you Kagome, no matter what," Sango crying a little,
"Sango, I need to see my body, I want to try and wake myself up," Kagome seeing the toll it was taking on Sango.
"Alright, do you want a lift in my car or do you want to follow me or what?" Sango asked,
"Not tonight, you have got to get some sleep Sango, I'll be here in the morning," Kagome explained.
"I'm sorry Kagome, you've been rough times and it seems as if the whole world is against you right now but it will get better, just give it time…Kagome, I love you, Miroku loves your, and we miss you so damn much, just…don't leave us okay?" Sango crying still.
"I wont Sango, I can't promise I'll make it through this alive but you'll always have me wherever you go," Kagome getting choked up.
"Goodnight Kags," Sango bawling,
"Goodnight my dear sweet sis," Kagome smiling sadly as she watched her wake up Miroku and take their child and put her to bed together.
Meanwhile….
Sesshomaru was reading a book to Rin, Sleeping Beauty was the name of it.
"Sesshomaru, maybe you could be Kagome's prince, you could kiss her like the prince kissed Sleeping Beauty and she would wake up," Rin sleepily. Sesshomaru actually laughed a little.
"Rin, its just a story, things in real life doesn't happen like they do in the fairytales," Sesshomaru explained,
"It could if you believe, I think I would like Kagome if she were to ever wake up, she seems nice and caring, she has a big heart and doesn't judge people for who or what they are, you were my prince, you came and saved me from the streets," Rin smiling as she cuddled with her teddy bear.
"That she is Rin and you are the only exception," Sesshomaru wondering where Kagome was,
"Rin would like for Kagome to be her mommy," Rin slipping into a deep sleep. Sesshomaru smiled a little, he knew Rin was getting attached to Kagome but didn't realize how much of an attachment she had placed on the transparent young miko. Slowly Sesshomaru pulled the covers over Rin and kissed her forehead,
"Goodnight little dreamer," Sesshomaru lowly whispered and walked out of the room and into the kitchen and grabbed a beer from the fridge, he popped the top and sat on the couch,
~Kagome does seem like a nice young woman, she didn't deserve to be cheated on with her cousin, Inuyasha, such a stupid half breed, anyone would be lucky to have a kind hearted and attractive young woman like her.~ Sesshomaru staring at the wall, he took a drink of his beer and that's when all hell broke loose.
